Wheels stopped turning on Polaris

Postby gaelpride » Mon 13 Aug, 2018 12:02

I have an older Polaris model pool cleaner- it has one wheel on the left side, and three on the right, all driven by a cog-gear system. recently the right had wheels have stopped turning. The left is still strong, but it's causing it to turn in circles and eventually gets caught up in itself.

Anything thoughts on what's going on?

You probably already figured this out, but it sounds like the right front wheel has worn out. Just replace it. You can even just swap it with the right rear wheel, and keep on going. Remove the wheel and look at the teeth on the inside. They wear out. It's a simple fix.
